2012 English Channel Swim

7 - 14 September 2012



After having cycled through Africa, completed 5 Ironman Triathlons, run the Comrades Ultra Marathon, Climbed Kili ... I have decided to take on a slightly tougher option ...



... 34km of cold, open water swimming ... leaving the coast of the eternal "wanna-be" soccer nation, over to the "frogs" on the other side ...

Excuses, excuses, excuses ... and Happy Holidays!



OMG ... I really need to get down and do some proper training!!!

First work kept me from getting down to the required training; then I was tired and run down from the work and year past. Now it is the holidays, friends, workload and everyone's festive expectations ... aagghh ...

... DISCIPLINE? Where art thou? I really do not wish to alienate you ... and I need to keep you close for the months ahead ...

The only good thing is that i am putting on some much needed weight. I feel highly uncomfortable carrying the extra pounds about ... but much needed for my upcoming cold water swims.


So on this note of the Crazy Season and extra pounds we carry - I herewith wish you all a Happy Holiday, lot of fun, relaxation and way too much food.
